Google Posts and Offers Content Calendar

## CONTEXT
Google Posts appear directly on the Business Profile and signal an active, trustworthy business, yet most listings post nothing or post once and forget. In 2026 a consistent cadence of offers, events, product highlights, and updates keeps the profile fresh, occupies more of the local panel, and gives searchers timely reasons to act. Each post needs a clear purpose, a strong call to action, and a clean image, while respecting the character limits and the short expiry of standard posts. A planned calendar removes the guesswork and ensures the listing stays lively week after week.
